This is the same Desaster as before. And I have no problem with this. Songs about Satan, war, the occult, death, destruction (and all variations thereof), buzzsaw, guitars, blasting drums, ice cold riffing sitting happily alongside fist-pumping thrash choruses. It’s brilliantly old school. Hardly original in any way – you might occasionally crack a grin in the middle of a song as you realise the riff has been lifted wholesale from somewhere else (the chorus to ‘Splendor Of The Idols’ is a little too close to Sepultura’s ‘Mass Hypnosis’, for example), but it’s delivered with enough aplomb and “Fuck yeah METAL!” attitude that you’ll forgive it.
